Minutes:
The Committee received a verbal update from the Head of Insight and Corporate Programmes regarding the Business Plan for 2021.
The Head of Insight and Corporate Programmes explained that the proposed Business Plan changes had been included in the consultation process for the 2021/2022 Budget.
The four existing strategic priorities – housing that meets your needs; leading on environmental sustainability; an enterprising economy with strong and vibrant local centres; and healthy, resilient and engaged communities; would remain in the plan, alongside the underpinning delivery themes of customers, healthy places, partnerships and continuous improvement.
Three new delivery themes would be added, to reflect the changing local and national priorities; Covid-19 recovery; including everyone, the equalities, diversity and inclusion framework; and climate action.
The Head of Insight and Corporate Programmes explained that monitoring of indicators would continue via the Performance Management Framework.
The ‘Plan on a page’ approach that had been used for previous plans had been replaced by a slightly longer business plan document, which included a foreword from the Leader of the Council and details of Council funding sources.
The Committee commented that they were pleased to see the including everyone policy coming through in various aspects of work across the Council.
